I am using lscape with pdflatex to set several pages to landscape mode for printed output. My viewer (evince) rotates the landscape page. It is convenient for reading, but is such a document still suitable for printing (in printing house)?
Printing should be fine, because the media box is not changed. Package pdflscape (or to some degree lscape) only set /Rotate 90 to the page dictionary, thus the viewer can rotate the page.

Do you suggest that I should use
pdflscapeonly to rotate the page in the viewer, but leave all pages untouched? – chejnik Sep 14 '15 at 9:55 -
2@chejnik The physical page dimensions are stored in the
/MediaBoxentry of the page dictionary of a PDF file. Since neitherpdflscapenorlscapedo change this entry, I do not expect problems with the printer. Make a test print with the particular printer to be sure. – Heiko Oberdiek Sep 14 '15 at 10:01 -
Ok, good idea :), I will simply test the printing of landscape pages using
lscape. – chejnik Sep 14 '15 at 10:03 -
I have tested print of the file, unfortunately the printer prints the landscape page on portrait page. – chejnik Sep 15 '15 at 5:12
